Auditory Morphine

by Dorian Black

+Breathe+

- I place the buds in my ears -
: He lies down with a needle in is arm :
- Bass hits and I close my eyes -
: Blood flows and he closes his :
- I let the hook reel me in -
: He thinks of how he'll get out :

+Breathe+

- Oblivion. The music numbs my fears. -
: Oblivious. The morphine takes his tears. :

-: It takes away the thoughts of what will happen
if he's not here tomorrow. :-

Author's Note: The only thing that seemed to come out when they told me today that my dad was in the hospital with blood clots in his lungs.

vivid images and potent fear from these words. Well done, good thoughts your way, hope all is well

This is a great way to compare the two deadenings of pains. I hope all is much better with your dad by now.
